Singapore Math and Time4Learning

Considering Singapore Math? Or are you already using it? As parents quickly learn, one of the more difficult tasks they face is selecting homeschool materials that are right for each child. The web is full of homeschool curriculum lists, discussions about homeschool material, and homeschool resource reviews. Sifting through the various homeschool options to find the best curriculum for each child can be confusing.

Singapore Math

Singapore Math is a fairly new entry in the homeschool math curriculum arena. The "Primary Maths" series, which originated in Singapore, features colorful workbooks and textbooks that rely more on pictures than on words to teach. The result is that children "discover" rather than are taught math concepts and, in the process, learn to think mathematically.

Singapore Math has been adopted by both homeschoolers and several public school districts across the US and Canada. In general, the books are a grade level ahead of a traditional US-based publisher's textbook. Initially available only in the SIngapore version (with metrics and the Singapore dollar), parents now have the option of buying US editions, which use English measurements. Singapore Math moves fairly quickly through the material presented. While children practice new skills as they are taught, there is less drill and review of previously taught concepts than in other math curricula. Many children benefit from supplementing Singapore Math with a math curriculum of contrasting style, especially one that integrates fun with learning.

Finding the best homeschool math curriculum

Many families discover that their children's educational needs are best met by blending multiple curricula, culling the best from each. This eclectic approach increases effectiveness and optimizes learning. Time4Learning's experience confirms that there is no single, best homeschool material. Parents are encouraged to select a diverse blend of materials and activities rather than feeling forced to choose a single 'best' resource.

Time4Learning works with Singapore Math

While each child has a unique learning style, nearly all children respond well to online learning. Further, many children benefit from additional practice, particularly in subjects like math, where a lack of mastery in one concept can ripple through future concepts indefinitely. Time4Learning's engaging, interactive style and self-paced presentation complements Singapore Math's program and vice versa.

Many families tell us that using Time4Learning in conjunction with Singapore Math enhances their children's academic success. Time4Learning's interactive, self-paced instruction in math, language arts, reading, social studies and science can be used as either a core or supplemental curriculum.
